    Thursday: The Custom Bet Purchase

    OK, this is a limited person only bet.

    I am offering up the ability to purchase one of seven slots, which would allow you to have a customized bet for next week's game. This doesn't mean you only bet on it (I might make that offer later, probably not in this bonus week cycle), but you have some control.

    I will put up seven slots, and a slot will allow you to propose a customized bid to me. I have five price levels, and you may only purchase one bid, no matter which level it is on, and bets are open to everyone, but you make the terms, so a specialty could help you hit it big. Also, note that all perks are cumulative, so the 200 Level also has the perks of the 100 level.

    100 S3F Cash: You give me a subject matter and I make the bets. So if you said Pittsburgh Pirates, I make a bet on the Pirates. If you say Ryan Doumit's performance, I make a bet on Ryan Doumit's performance. If you say Ryan Doumit's performance in his second at-bat, I make it on that, and so on.

    200 S3F Cash: You may name the bets that would be made. For instance, if the bet is on the Pirates, you can say "They'll win", "They'll lose", "Freddy Sanchez hits 4 HR", whatever. I name the odds.

    300 S3F Cash: You have the right to expand a bet beyond a single day (the two above it are single-day only bets). It can be a week long, month long, up to the end of the regular season if you like.

    500 S3F Cash: You may name odds for these bets, WITH my final say. Nothing ridiculous like "Pirates Win at 100/1 odds" would be allowed. But if they are in the realm of legitimacy, fine with me.

    1000 S3F Cash: You can name specific terms for the bet that go beyond what I usually do. Crazy rules, fine. Max or Min bets, fine. Bonuses for betting a certain amount, fine. The only one that I would prohibit is the making of an exclusive bet. Everyone has to be able to bet. If a person's S3F Cash is below a min. bet level, then an "all-in" bet by that person meets the requirement.

    So the process is first-come, first-serve. You may take up ONE slot, and once all seven slots are taken, tough luck, try again next time. Make ONE bet equal to the level of wager you would like to create. You may claim this at any time during the season, and expires on the final day of the regular season, so this one could a playoff breaker. I will likely make this offer again later on in late August.

    INS can't be used for this bet, only the bet that results from this right?

    There's nothing in those terms that could stop me.

    Yeah, this isn't a real bet, moreso a purchase. You can use INS on the bet that comes out of this, but not on purchasing itself.

    Naming bets sounds like a plan to me.

    I'm down as well.
    I did a lot of good things as a sim league GM.

    Ah, give me something clever to say here.
